Humor makes our heavy burdens light and smoothes the rough spots in our pathways.

I've always been worried about people who are willing to work for nothing. Sometimes that's all you get from them, nothing.

Government is contemptuous of true religion when it confiscates the taxes of Caesar to finance the things of God.

If religious freedom is to endure in America, the responsibility for teaching religion to public school children must be left to the homes and churches of our land, where this responsibility rightfully belongs. It must not be assumed by the government through the agency of the public school system.

A judicial activist is a judge who interprets the Constitution to mean what it would have said if he, instead of the Founding Fathers, had written it.

I believe in a wall between church and state so high that no one can climb over it. When religion controls government, political liberty dies; and when government controls religion, religious liberty perishes. Every American has the constitutional right not to be taxed or have his tax money expended for the establishment of religion. For too long the issue of government aid to church related organizations has been a divisive force in our society and in the Congress. It has erected communication barriers among our religions and fostered intolerance.

There is nothing in the Constitution that authorizes or makes it the official duty of a president to have anything to do with criminal activities.
